  5. Hi Nee,
    First, how are the children doing??? I'm glad you made cookies. Cookies are comfort food:) Actually, I could use a couple of these yummy looking cookies myself. Of course the fact that they are "healthy" is a good thing too.

    Thank you so much for sharing, Nee. Hug those little darlings for me, will you:)

  6. Hi Louise ,
    The kids are coping much better , thank you . They are talking about the good memories they had with Maxy , They have gabs of photos off Maxy and Hubby brought some albums for them . They understood why we could not let him suffer , but their healing process is going good .

    I've baked so many different cooking I dream about them . I wish I could pass a couple ;-D .
    I hugged them for you and Baby boy (named after hubby , but we call him 'Man') said he was sending you kisses and hugs . That boy is a riot .
    Thanks so much my friend for stopping by ....(((HUGS))) to you and Marion :).

  7. Hi Nee, I'm so glad to hear the children are adapting. It may take a while but at least they can freely share their feelings. Tell that baby boy I love kisses and hugs! And please thank him for me. Marion is doing GREAT! She loves her hugs too:)

    1. Good Moring dear Louise ,
      I think the shock is wearing off , kids are much smarter than a lot of grown-ups give them credit for . Glad to hear Marion is great ... did she pick the first tomato ? Baby boy asked his daddy do you make drunk food , he laughed and said , son , only your mama makes drunk food . Thank you so much for stopping by my friend :)
